STORE INVENTORY LIBRARY OFFICER AT DEXNOVA CONSULTING LIMITED | INVENTORY JOBS IN LAGOS

About Company:

DexNova is a Professional Services firm operating in the knowledge industry and dedicated to building excellent delivery capability in organisations across Africa through Professional Training and Certifications. 

Job Description:

The Store Inventory Library Officer is responsible for the absolute integrity, standardization, and upkeep of the Master Item Library on the company’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform.  Because a construction company deals with thousands of highly specific components, ranging from structural steel and civil materials to complex Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) fittings, this role ensures that every item has a unique, unambiguous, and technically accurate profile. 

Requirements:

ERP Master Data & Library Management:

• Establish & Maintain the Library: Act as the primary gatekeeper for the ERP Stock Item Library, ensuring all data entries follow strict corporate cataloging standards and taxonomy frameworks. 
• Item Creation & Classification: Review, validate, and approve all requests for new item creation on the ERP platform. Categorize items logically into standardized asset groups (e.g., Civil, MEP, Finishes, Tools, Plant & Machinery) to ensure seamless filtering, tracking, and financial reporting. 
• Data Cleansing & De-duplication: Regularly audit the ERP item library to identify, merge, or archive duplicate items, obsolete parts, or poorly formatted entries, maintaining database hygiene.
• Unit of Measure (UoM) Standardization: Ensure strict consistency in UoMs (e.g., bags vs. tons for cement; meters vs. running feet for cables) to prevent procurement quantity errors and subsequent inventory discrepancies. 

Technical Specification & Description Management: 

• Standardize Naming Conventions: Implement and enforce a structured naming system (Noun, Attribute 1, Attribute 2, Specification) so items are easily searchable (e.g., "Screw, Hex Head, M10, 50mm, Galvanized" instead of generic descriptions like "screw"). 
• Technical Validation: Collaborate with Project Engineers, Estimators, and Quality Control to input precise technical specifications, material grades, standards (e.g., ASTM, BS), dimensions, and manufacturer part numbers into the ERP. 
• Visual & Technical Documentation: Where applicable, attach technical data sheets, drawings, compliance certificates, or reference images to the ERP item profiles to assist storekeepers in physical verification upon delivery. 

Qualifications and Skills:

• Bachelor’s Degree: In Data Management, Information Systems, Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, or a closely related field.
• Minimum 3–5 years of direct experience in Master Data Management (MDM), ERP Cataloging, Inventory Control, or Technical Catalog Management.
• Alternative Engineering Advantage: A Diploma or Degree in Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering combined with a strong data affinity is highly valued, as an understanding of technical construction materials is central to this role. Professional Experience 
• Industry Background: Proven experience working within the construction, civil engineering, MEP contracting, or heavy manufacturing industries is strongly preferred due to the high complexity of material specifications.
